Thursday, October 6th, 7:00 p.m. Bill Robles presentation in San Marino's Crowell Public Library
Through 44 years, Mr. Robles has mastered the art of on-the-spot
illustrating, working for a strict and unyielding taskmaster: television
news. He has said, “I love courtroom illustrating… the immediacy…
working feverishly… the adrenaline gets going and suddenly it’s over, on
the satellite and around the world.”

Mr. Robles is also one of the subjects of The Illustrated Courtroom: 50
Years of Court Art by Elizabeth Williams and Sue Russell, a book whose
cover art by Robles shows Charles Mansion lunging toward the bench
during his trial. As one might imagine, there are a few stories behind
each illustration. |
